The Estate of Frankie Cadwell
Sotheby's New York, March 11, 2004, lot 47

Very good overall condition. Shades are well matched with only minor variations in shape and color. Two shades with minor chips to the upper aperture which are not visible when the shades are mounted in the base. The base with a rich reddish-brown and green patina. Minor surface soiling notably at the high points and the recesses of the surface decoration. The sockets and switches appear to be original. One thumb switch is broken and is lacking one-half of the tab. Lamp has been rewired.
